3. Israel Issues Evacuation Order for Gaza Ahead of October 7 Deadline
Israel has issued an evacuation deadline of October 7, 2025, for Palestinian residents in Gaza, before it takes full control of the region. This date marks the two-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.
In Israel, the families of hostages held by militants in Gaza and opposition leaders have publicly condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to occupy Gaza. They believe Netanyahu's ambition to seize control of the territory will put the lives of the remaining captives in grave danger.
The Forum of Families of Hostages, an organization representing the majority of these families, has referred to the expansion of the war in Gaza as a "death sentence" for those still held captive in the enclave.
